Author Under Sail offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer. Jay Williams examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a three-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss.

The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on theatricality and the representation of the seen and the unseen.

Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.

Perfect for my son with EXTREMELY sensitive skin
Size: Size 5 (132 Count), Size: Size 5 (132 Count)
My son has extremely sensitive skin, and most diapers cause hives or a rash. We’ve tried countless brands and had eventually settled on Bambo Nature, but their prices increased significantly, so I started looking for a more affordable alternative. Although the product listing doesn’t clearly mention it, these diapers are absolutely latex-free, and that’s a huge deal for little ones like ours. Amazon should really make that more obvious in this listing, since latex-free diapers are a necessity for my son. I also found in my research that there was 3rd party testing that found no detectable PFAs in these, but even bambo nature had some detected. The best part? He has had zero reaction to these. No hives, no rash, nothing. On top of that, they’re adorable, highly absorbent, and cost about half as much as the brand we were previously using. I genuinely wish I had tried them sooner. For this price, I wouldn’t even care if Amazon Prime ads were printed on them. I also love the stretch in the tabs and the back waistband area. It’s the perfect amount of flexibility for my very active toddler without feeling flimsy. We have had zero leaks, even overnight. My son actually keeps looking down at them before getting dressed, like he notices and approves of the fun prints compared to his old plain diapers. For the price, quality, and the fact that they actually work for sensitive skin, these have been an excellent find. This is all we will use from now on.

Great Diapers
Size: Size 5 (33 Count)
These diapers have been a lifesaver for our family. They fit really well without being too tight and my daughter is comfortable. I love that they don’t sag easily and the stretchy sides help prevent leaks while still allowing my child to move around freely. The absorbency is impressive, especially during naps, and we’ve never had a blowout. Another huge plus is the price. It’s hard to find diapers that work this well without spending a fortune, but these are a great value for the quality. They hold up just as well as more expensive brands, making them perfect for everyday use. I would definitely recommend them to parents looking for dependable diapers that fit well, absorb great, and are budget friendly.

Great bang for your buck
Size: Size 1 (50 Count), Size: Size 1 (50 Count)
Gotta say this is a pretty good diaper for the price! Not as soft as your luxury name brands but still very soft. Great absorption, no leaks, moisture stripe works. I like that they're mostly plain, I never understood why diapers needed to be "cute." The adhesion tabs work well, even though I did waste a diaper accidentally ripping one off. x) As for negatives this diaper is narrower than all the other brands. Which is fine, it still fits my baby but I probably won't be buying these again unless im using them as an in between from nb to size 1

Comparable to Major Name Brands in price and quality
Size: Newborn (30 Count)
Good value for the price , comparable in value and quality of major name brands. Visually attractive and detailed product description on packaging. Newborn size package is very small and well packaged for easy storage. Diapers are made to fit comfortably to newborns body and manufactured to wick moisture into the diaper away from babies skin and so not to leak. They absorb a fairly good amount of liquid with no problems. The adhesive tabs stick well and do not come lose.
